Tamron SP AF 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5 Di II LD Aspherical (IF)

Wideangle zoom lens | Canon EF, Nikon F (DX), Pentax KAF, Sony Alpha

dpreview conclusion

Usefully it's sharpest at the wide end, which is of course what users will be buying it for, although it's no slouch at longer focal lengths either. And while the extreme corners are rather soft, this only affects a very limited region of the frame, and on those rare occasions where it's really a problem, only a slight crop is needed to deal with it.

Its optical performance is very good: nice and sharp at 10mm, except in the extreme corners and good tolerance to CA (again, except in the corners). Distortion is a little high - fairly typical for wide-angle lenses - and corner shading is a bit...
